We are pleased to announce that the first staff member of the project has been appointed. Hannah Walker will take on the post of research assistant, based at Melbourne University. Hannah has a Sociology degree, and has worked on a number of projects, most recently with asbestos victims in the latrobe valley, and has worked with divisions and GPs on a project examining how doctors, patients and computers interact in the consultation. Hannah will be involved in the observation visits to practices in Victoria.

Protocols for recruitment of practices and divisions have been developed, and a research assistant has been appointed in Melbourne.
